Christmas is two days away, and it has been a very busy period with Christmas events all across the country.

You can check what was happening at the beginning of the month in my previous post.

After the Dhour El Chouweir festival, I went to check the Christmas market at Le Royal – Dbayeh. A beautiful parade was there to entertain the kids, the pianist was playing the best Christmas carols, while we were tasting the hot wine and cookies.

If you want to gift someone with tasty cookies, buches, or wine, Le Royal Christmas market is still there till the end of the year!

I attended the launch of the latest collection by the Mukhi Sisters, the “Dream Catcher”

Originally conceived by the Native American Ojibwe people, Dream catchers were made to represent Asibikaashi, the Spider Woman, who took care of people and especially children across the land. Made of a circle, which was then weaved across in a web-like pattern and then decorated with feathers, the dream catcher was hung from a bed, “catching” all bad dreams and letting only good ones through, allowing the dreamer a peaceful and serene slumber.

From this original inspiration the Mukhi Sisters have created a collection that represents the chasing of good dreams and making these dreams into a reality.

The Dream Catcher Collection, which includes earrings, pendants, rings, bracelets and body pieces, for both men and women, is a symbol of the persevering passion to make good things happen; to strive for a dream and make it happen. Designed in both yellow and rose gold, the collection mostly incorporates the use of diamonds and turquoise, in fluid movement that symbolizes the energy of optimism.

It’s such a unique and lovely collection, dominated by feather designs, including colored stones. These splendid items, chic and simple, will add a touch of brightness to your outfits.

Did you check the lovely collection? Which is your favorite item?

Since the 18th century the Mouzannar Family has been established as leading fine jewelers in the Middle East. In the 1950s the late Aziz Mouzannar and his brother Walid made significant contributions to the transformation of Beirut’s Jeweler’s Souk, positioning it as a main jewelry destination for the entire Middle East.
The Lebanese Civil War destroyed the Souk, but it did not affect the prestige of the Mouzannar family whose name remains as an absolute reference in the jewelry industry.
The creations made by the house of Aziz and Walid Mouzannar are inspired by Middle Eastern tradition and antiquity with a contemporary feel, making them timeless classics, sought for their high value and emotional substance.

Back in December, I have attended a cocktail party held by the international award-winner brand Nada G™.

A cocktail party with hundreds of people gathered in festivity around the boutique to celebrate the brand’s consecutive years of achievements following the acclaimed highlight of the year where the brand has been chosen to be part of the “Precious Jewels Salon” at Neiman Marcus, USA.

Founder and designer behind the brand, Nada Ghazal, took this opportunity to reveal one of her newest collection ‘BOY MEETS GIRL’, where the invitees stood in awe around the gorgeously executed designs.

‘BOY MEETS GIRLS’ is all about the boyish side in me, expressed through the tight bands and the fun oversized wires”- explained Nada Ghazal.

In the past few years Nada G™ creations have had a big impact at showcases in London, Paris and Las Vegas making Nada G™ a highly sought after brand by affluent international retailers. The brand is now available in several stores in the US including the famous Neiman Marcus and one store in the UK with future expansion plan in the Gold region.

“We have had three years of major accomplishments which we would like to celebrate and we are taking this opportunity to share them with our customers and supporters.”-Nada Ghazal.

With the Mother’s Day coming, I think this collection could make a great gift idea for your mum or wife 🙂

Nada G™’s flagship boutique is conveniently located in the ‘Beirut Souks’ of the Downtown Central District. Nada G™ jewelry is also available for purchase in ‘Sabbia, The Ritz Carlton’, Miami-Florida, and ‘Sabbia, Chicago’, ECOne, London and ‘Shannon Green Collection’, Naples-Florida.

I have been fascinated by the jewelry world a lot lately and discovering new brands.

My latest discovery is AGATHA Paris: the iconic French jewelry brand that fuses the fashionable with the affordable.

Founded in 1974, AGATHA grew from a Parisian design store to a worldwide fashion jewelry company with over 400 retails outlets all over the world.

And this Valentine’s Day, there’s a thousand and one ways to say ‘I love you.’ AGATHA, is saying ‘I love you,’ ‘Te quiero,’ and ‘Je t’aime’ in pendants and openwork cuff bracelets that repeats these words of love like mantras.

AGATHA‘s band rings can be combined, mixing delicate motifs and different shades of gold. Beautiful drop earrings come in metal, pink, silver and gold colour. And to tie a love knot, what could be more romantic than composing your own Agat’You heart bracelet for your valentine.
